Recently, I’ve noticed that there is a distinctive chill in the morning as I walk to class and at night walking home from work. I’ve noticed that the leaves are slowly changing colors and fluttering to the ground. To me, these are the telltale signs that fall, my absolute favorite season, is on its way.

The weather during fall is amazing. It’s crisp and cool, the perfect excuse to break out leggings and sweatshirts and cute fall jackets and scarves. It is never too hot, nor is it ever too cold. It is the perfect weather for going outside without freezing or sweating to death. It is the comfiest season! The trees are vibrant with bright reds, yellows, and oranges. Anything and everything is beautiful to look at. I love being outside during that fall.

I would argue that there is more ways to entertain yourself in the fall. Who doesn’t love apple picking? Or pumpkin picking? I am so excited to carve pumpkins even though there is a 90% chance I might accidentally cut myself. Hiking becomes a lot more fun because you won’t sweat or freeze to death, and the views are arguably nicer due to the color change of the leaves. Leaf peeping will give me some amazing photo opportunities. Fall also brings the start of new television series or new seasons of favorite television shows. As Halloween approaches, it’s fun to hide under a blanket and watch a scary movie, or any other Halloween themed film for that matter, I also love the treats associated with the arrival of fall. It brings about the pumpkin spice flavored everything movement. Pumpkins spice lattes, muffins, and even Oreos are all the rage. The whole season of fall simply feels like one giant holiday to me.
